Name: Eric Koford
Bio: Crusher Creel is my real name and I walk around in striped prison pants, boots, no shirt, and a ball-n-chain. It gets a bit chilly sometimes. Actually, the only thing Crusher Creel and I share is the same haircut. I have been a big Marvel fan since my first encounter with Loki. Actually started reading comics in the first grade. My first book was a Hulk book that was in the reading library area of my first grade class. It was way better than "Watch Jack run."Growing up there was a group of us that read comics, but it was really casual. We never had any discussions about characters or creators. It wasn't until college that I started communicating with some really interesting people about comics. That continued through graduate school and into adulthood. Now my kids and I share the love together. I don't push anything on them, but let them develop their own tastes. My daughter likes mostly femine heroes and manga. My son loves Spider-Man. I travel for my career and try to hit the "best" comic store in whatever city I am visiting. I have a list of favorites and am surprised with how many great stores there are. I am also surprised that some can stay in business. I don't collect books, but read titles and give them away. Mostly at Halloween. I collect trades and reread them. I am loyal to a few titles, but am always on the lookout for new interesting books. I prefer "fights in tights" type of books. I grew up on them and continue to love well written and drawn superhero books. I still look at the books from my childhood (in trade), but I can hardly read them. They are written in a more simple style, but compared to some of the books I read today, they just pale. Current Favorites: Invincible, Captain America, Thor, the Avengers, Ultimate FF, Atomic Robo,Godland, Sharkman, Atomics/Mad Man, Goon, Jonah Hex, Lone Ranger, Incredible Hercules, Batman, among others.
I never read this book, but my eleven year old son loves it. Based on that I am endorsing it…

I think its a fun book and that's good enough for me. Bravo Conor for giving it a second look
Fantasy: Thor. I dig the hair and pounding on someone with a hammer
Reality: Crusher Creel the Absorbing Man, with better fashion sense. I don't condone walking around with your shirt off no matter what you look like, very tacky.
